The world of dance music isn’t often associated with locales such as Georgetown. Electronic dance music is synonymous with large ballrooms, concert venues, and some of the world’s most lavish nightclubs.

Recently dance music’s re-invigoration has even become a staple of high-end Las Vegas lifestyle, and a key component of the city that never sleeps.

Brendan Coates, a Georgetown native, intends to bring this big city atmosphere and its robust nature to this growing town for one special night.

Coates has announced a lineup of internationally renowned DJs to Nashville North in Norval on Sunday, Feb. 16, 10 p.m. Tickets— for age 19 or older— are $20 in advance at Mold-Masters Pro Shop or www.wanttickets.com/electricstampede. Reservations and tickets, 416-709-4308.

Managing the family sports store, Sports Unlimited, for more than eight years, Coates took his ambitions to Jamaica and Cayman Islands to launch his boat cruise company, Jah Dream. Using this entrepreneurial spirit, and connections with some of the most respected promoters and producers, Coates has brought the flavor of Jah Dream back to Canada. Over the past two years, Coates’ Ship Show Presents has booked boat cruises highlighted by live performances from internationally renowned DJs to Toronto’s harbor. Last fall, his cruise was headlined by none other than Joel Zimmerman, more commonly known as Deadmau5.

Sunday’s Norval event, Electric Stampede, is headlined by German progressive house DJ Moguai along with Ontario’s own rising stars Dzeko & Torres, freshly back from opening for Tiesto in Las Vegas. Opening DJ is Georgetown’s own Ryan Shepherd.

Electric Stampede is the first dance music event of this magnitude to hit Nashville North. The event promises to be the first step in bridging premier event bookings to smaller more intimate venues.

Coates’ successful abilities to network and build relationships with some of the most powerful nightclub bookers in the industry allows him to bring that same experience and exciting lifestyle right back home here for us!
